SKYRIM
Advent Rising, but only because I will never forget the ending
hope i win
Borderlands 2
ill go for The Legend of Zelda series, most of the ice dungeons have great puzzles in there and some great levels designs, like on twilight princess the snowpeak ruins.
I feel like I had a good game on the tip of my tongue but I can’t remember it. I’ll have to go with Skyrim or SSX Tricky. Thanks!
Epyx Winter Games on the Apple II. Hotdog!
Metro 2033. By far.
Lost Planet
Skyrim counts, right? So yes, I’ll go with Skyrim in general. It’s an Elder Scrolls game, I mean come on. The controls are tight, the graphics are gorgeous, the story is great, and there is SO much to do. And the PC version has a Steam Workshop that gives you access to limitless extra content. There’s so much to love with Skyrim.
One game that I don’t think will get mentioned that is also good is Cryostasis. It’s a great, scary Arctic thriller with a lot taken from The Thing (the Kurt Russell one, mind you) with just enough glitches to give it mediocre reviews. It’s no longer on Steam, but you can get a key at Gala Store for $1. The glimpses of brilliance and desolate survival-horror atmosphere really make it a good, but obscure, game.
Definitely Skyrim!
SSX Tricky
havent played it yet, but i expect company of heroes 2 to quickly become my favorite. advancing troops during a snowstorm, destroying lakes that tanks are using for transportation, its gonna be great.
Syberia
The Thing on the PC is a pretty good survivor horror, but wished it had more survival and more “things”. The game had so much potential is while not the best game is one of the best survival horror games in an ice based environment. I’m talking 3rd person horror not first person shooter horror games
1080 Snowboarding for the 64!
SSX on the PS2!
Lost Planet I guess
